Cruz is the one who will fade. Now that he’s in the spotlight, his amnesty con will be exposed. He’s made a big deal out of fighting amnesty because he doesn’t want instant citizenship but that’s all he doesn’t want. Has been able to dodge questions that would corner him but that time’s gone.

Rubio is right on this one, he’s not that different from Cruz.

It is amazing to me how so many self professing conservatives fall for populist rhetoric being spewn out by a guy who is sounding more and more that “ well managed” government is the solution to all of our problems. Heck this guy might ramp up domestic spying to even greater levels than Bush or Obama.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, my FRiend.

Isn't Mister Trump a longtime, and unrepentant proponent of socialized medicine?

What scorecard are you referring to that I spammed?

None Homer, I was referring to Isara's little digital punch card which has become almost as familiar around here as Cincinatus's Wife's diatribes about Trump.

” I think I would place my bets on Cruz knowing the right course for his campaign over pretty much ANY message board junkie.”

I’m on a number of apolitical and leftist-dominated forums.

These people are NOT impressed with Cruz, and are more ready to take him on as they are with Trump.

Believe me, these people are more than happy to take on Cruz because they know that he will have none of Trump’s bravado, less cross-over appeal, and they see him as a pipsqueak with no governmental experience that can be held up against Hillary’s “vast career in service”.

And the thing that really chilled me was that coupled with the press protection, they will be able to paint her time in government from her time involved with Watergate, being first lady in Arkansas, and in DC, having been married to a still popular Bill Clinton, having been a senator, having run for president, having been involved with numerous political entities/groups, and having been Sec. of State as being a resume that no one can touch.

Yes, WE know that she’s been a snake and an opportunist, not to mention a failure in all of those positions, but she will also be running as the first women nominee for president. That affords her another wall of protection.

Can Cruz talk over that? I dont think so. It just isn’t his personality. He’s too insider baseball. Too formatted for a senate debate, and not for the brawl of the campaign trail.

He’s been careful up until not. Far too careful.

Well, that would at least be sooner than any of the other times you’ve failed to refute any of my points.

As soon as he does that, the vagina card gets played and trump is done. She won her senate seat because Rick lazio handed her a freakin piece of paper during a debate....trump does ANY of what you say and the media will gut him like a fish and moderates the country over will swoon. She will have to be defeated with class and a smile and a surgeons scalpel not a meat cleaver.

No, there is the piano bar, some shuffleboard, a nice buffet, a swimming pool and lounge chairs. All very clean and packaged and indulgent. But going nowhere without the functional, hard nosed icebreaker.

It is rather patronizing and stupid.

It was not the act of handing her the paper that won her the seat.

It was that the media was looking for something, anything, with which to slam him for the voters in NY, and they harped on this little nonsense as a great big invasion of her vaginal space.

Worse, he slinked away like a meek puppy that just got yelled at for crapping the carpet.Oh, they will try, they have been all along. But it requires the candidate to be submissive, lay on the back and pee in the air.

Don't see trump doing that anytime soon.

You forgot the maniacal "Nuke ISIS" Tomahawk launcher. Probably mounted aft by the para sail/jet ski rentals.

When (or if) you make any 'points' worth refuting, you'll have my full and undivided attention, my ITLF. See ya' around!

Trump isn’t Rick Lazio.

Try coming forward to the present time, it’s where reality is currently transpiring.

ITLF, That’s good. :)

Trump is not lazio. He’s less polished and more bombastic. Both of which are detriments when this happens. Just my .02
